se INTRODUCTION

The Hamilton Street Railway Company has met continuing expansion
of its bus and trolley fleets to satisfy the ever growing transit

requirements of the public.

The site at Wentworth Street North however from which the
Company operates, has virtually not changed over the years to

keep pace with the expansion of the fleet.

This situation has developed now into a condition where it is
practically impossible to expand the fleet further without
also enlarging the present site, or considering an additional

second site for the operations.

The management and staff of the H.S.R.C. have to be highly
commended that they have made it possible to operate for so
long under these congested conditions. It is evident though,
that overcrowding does exist and this must have an adverse
effect on the efficiency of personnel working in what are by

current standards essentially below average conditions.

This report investigates and describes space and operational
aspects which are associated with storage and movement of buses

for daily service requirements only.

Repair facilities and other operational aspects associated
with the operation of the Wentworth Street facility were
considered beyond the terms of reference of this study and

have not been included in this report.

2% TERMS OF REFERENCE

The existing Wentworth Street North Terminal is well located
with respect to providing service to the Hamilton area.
Particularly ettractive is the fact that due to the site
location dead-run mileage is at a minimum. This results in

a more economic and efficient operation than would be possible

at some other more outlying site.

It is therefore understandable that the company wishes to
retain the present Wentworth Street North facility but wants
to know the limitations of the site if operation is based on

modern standard requirements.

Based on the before noted letter requesting proposals and
further communications with management of the H.R.R.C. the
terms of reference for the study may be summarized as follows:
1. Collect all relevant data with regard to existing
structures and facilities of the Wentworth Street
North site. Check critical building dimensions and
obtain other required information. Upgrade existing

building and layout plans.

2. Analyze alternative operational flow patterns and
parking arrangements and determine how many vehicles
should be maintained on the present site using modern

standards.

3. Analyze alternative operational flow patterns and

parking arrangements within an expanded site using

modern standards.

It should be noted that all investigations of the present and
expanded site, or a completely new site had to consider that
Che Fieoe hace. Lleeu, contrary to most.other public transit
fleets has in addition to diesel and gasoline powered vehicles

a considerable number of electric trolley buses.

With present day emphasis placed on pollution control and
energy conservation it is considered that the trolley bus

component of the fleet could even increase in future.

33 EXISTING SITE

The existing Wentworth Street facility is located east of
Wentworth Street North and bounded by Wilson Street in the
north and King Street in the south.

The site comprises some 5.8 acres of which about 3.3 acres
are open yard. The rest is covered by various buildings
housing all service, repair and administrative facilities

of the Hamilton Street Railway Company.

The site was originally considerably smaller and was used as
a streetcar yard. Over the years and after several expansions

the site was converted into the present bus depot.

The substantial electrical facilities peculiar to a streetcar
operation and normally absent in a bus-only facility are still
put to good use and utilized today by the trolley-bus fleet

of the company. The site is open to all three abutting streets,

1.e. Wentworth, Wilson and King Streets.

The facilities and the existing site are shown on Figure l.

The structures shown contain the following various facilities
and functions:

Main Building - This structure facing Wentworth Street North
is partially two storey and houses all administrative offices
of the company as well as most of the repair facilities, body
shops, paint shop, work shops, storage rooms, boiler room,
electrical substation and several other miscellaneous areas

PeCVICSeBULIOgige =, tuts Structure, located an the centre and at
the east side of the property accommodates washing, cleaning
and two repair lanes for the trolley buses. This building

also includes a small boiler room, storage rooms and some
offices and a small cafeteria constructed as a second floor

Over parts of they building.

Ticket and Cash Office - This long narrow two storey building
located near King Street accommodates the ticket and cash
handling facilities, also the dispatch office and an upstairs

operators room.

Storage Building - This single storey block structure constructed
in the yard near Wilson Street is used for storing various
materials, batteries, etc. It should be noted that in all
present and future storage requirement investigations it has

been assumed that this building will be demolished.

Present Operation - The present site is used to store and
service a fleet of 276 buses, of which 50 are electric trolley
buses. In addition to this number belonging to the Hamilton
Street Railway Company the fleet of Canada Coach Lines numbering
some 100 buses is also using the Wentworth Street North facili-

ties for maintenance and repairs.

BY adding Up ali vehicles using the site it can readily be
seen that under present conditions every available space in
the yard as well as inside the buildings is utilized.
Conditions Get particularly congested during the off-hours

when most of the fleet is at the site.

As noted previously Figure 1 shows the present utilization
of the site. The present storage arrangement of the buses
is shown in blocks, the first number indicating the number
of parked buses followed by another number which indicates
the length of the buses, i.e. either 35' long buses or 40'

long buses.

As would be appreciated, under these extremely crowded condi-
tions no opportunity exists for a concentrated service operation
and consequently the present operation can not be compatible

with modern requirements.

Buses are fueled in the open yard area as they return from
runs. This frequently involves lost time in maneuvering
vehicles from one position to another to gain access to the
pumps due to the limited yard space, and a substantial number
of vehicles may come off their runs within a few minutes of

each other.

Cccling water, ehigine Gil, tires and batteries are checked
in the various storage areas at each bus. Such an operation
is time consuming and hence costly. Proper checking is
difficult since there is only limited space available at

the sides and ends of the buses where access is required.

In most cases the level of lighting in between lines of

parked buses is also inadequate for effective working.

Washing and cleaning is carried out in one service lane,
fronts and backs are washed by hand. The washer is located
at the end of the lane with little space between washer and
the outside. This causes the buses frequently to ice-up

during the winter months and renders the wash inoperative.

Provision of well laid out and well lit service lanes are
therefore very important and can speed up and increase the
efficiency of the whole servicing operation. It makes
possible the adoption of a production line technique by
driving the buses to the service units. This results in
reduction in servicing time and personnel and much improved

control of the operation.

The whole attempt to streamline the daily service operations
will however be frustrated if not enough room is also made
available in the yard to accommodate the free movement of
buses between storage areas and service facilities. In the
case of the Wentworth Street North site this requirement of
providing unobstructed free movement lanes is somewhat com-
plicated due to the fact that a substantial section of the
fleet consists of trolley buses which are limited in their

movement by the availability of overhead power lines.

Figure 2 indicates the storage capacity of the existing site
to be 183 buses considering only existing facilities but

Provicing Gpen lanes between storage and service.

The operation of other facilities such as repair, body shop,
paint shop, @tc. carried out at the Wentworth site were beyond
the terms of reference of this report and are therefore not
discussed. It stands to reason however that these operations
due to every available space being utilized for storing buses,

are also Greatly Limited in their .cfficiency.

4, EXPANDED SITE

Expansion to the south toward the intersection of King and
Wentworth Street has not been considered at the present time

due to the commercial nature of this area.

This area would in all probability be too expensive for the

Size and benefit that it could offer.

The most obvious expansion available to the present site is

towards the intersection of Wentworth and Wilson Street.

The benefits to H.S.R.C. owning this land are:
- Approximately 61 additional buses could be parked on the

site.

- The short existing dead-end street from Wentworth Street
into the company site could be closed off and acquired
from the City of Hamilton and added to the Yard. This
should be possible since no private owner will be abutting

£O° this street.

- Even if not used for _bus parking, the rroperty can be used
to expand the cffice and/or repair faci.iities which may

well be required for the expanded H.S.R.C. and C.C.L. fleets.

- As will be shown later this additional property will be very
beneficial to the H.S.R.C. i1£ some elevated storage is to

be provided at the site.

The layout of the expanded facility showing additional bus

parking is shown on Figure 3.

5. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

Two alternatives and limitations of development of the
Wentworth Street North site, i.e. existing site only and
expanded site have been discussed in the previous sections.

A further alternative became apparent during the study.

This alternative would utilize the whole expanded site but
would also provide additional storage of buses on an elevated

ACA.

The construction of such elevated parking area would provide
bus storage for another 112 (40') buses and thereby increase
the total capacity of the site to accommodate a fleet of up
to some 318 buses. This number could be stored without undue
difficulty and still provide open traffic lanes compatible

with modern standards for proper operation of the site.

The most suitable area within the site for the construction
of an elevated parking facility would be along Wilson Street

between the street line and the existing repair building.

The structure is envisaged of reinforced concrete with the
upper level accessible by two ramps which could have heating

provisions for winter operation.

The street level could be either open or closed and the design
could be carried out in a manner which would allow the addi-

tion of a future roof is desired.

The construction cost at today's prices of the elevated storage
Pe 1estinatcea to be in the range of $20.00 per sq. £t. or $1.70
Miition for 85,000 sq. ft. of required additional space.” For
comparison purposes a new storage garage located elsewhere

with necessary light repair and servicing facilities would cost

io the neighbourhood of $30.00 per sq. £t. or $2.55 million.

It should be noted that the figure for elevated storage was
arrived at without the benefit of soils information and
preliminary design and should be considered conceptual only.
The cost estimate is based on a largely precast reinforced
concrete structure, open faced on the ground level with some
screening provided for the elevated buses. The estimate
includes the provision of fire protection by sprinklers and
general lighting. An allowance for engineering cost and
contingencies is also included but not the cost of any land

required for the expansion.

Figure 4 shows a preliminary layout of this alternative

indicating ground and elevated parking separately.

The trolley bus fleet would initially still remain at 50.
An increase in trolleys would require rewiring and/or
addition of overhead power lines. The study of this aspect

was beyond the terms of reference of this report.

It is our opinion that together with the decongestion of

the present or expanded site, (with or without elevated
parking) the facilities for the daily services should also
be increased and updated. The present building used for
this purpose could easily be extended to provide for the
whole range of service activities. These would include
fueling, washing, cleaning with checks made on engine oil,
Cooling water, tires, lights, doors, batteries, transmission

eni, ete.

Pare box (and cash) handling could also be transferred to

this area and made part of the service lane operation.

As far as space requirements are concerned, Figure 4 shows

the expanded service lanes.

Other aspects of the operation such as servicing, repair
etc. have been mentioned only very generally. Being beyond
the terms of reference no attempt has been made to work out

any details in this regard.

It is suggested however that the H.S.R.C. undertake a detailed
review associated with the whole range of these operational
aspects once it has been decided in which direction the future

development of the Wentworth Street North site will proceed.

Gx

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The conclusions of our investigations into the various

aspects of this study are as follows:

i,

The Wentworth Street North site is, due to its central
location in relation to the area served, excellent.

Dead-run mileage is at a minimum.

Site has good access and egress, being accessible from

three sides.
The site is presently completely overcrowded.

A number of service facilities is outdated and require

replacement.

Facilities can be expanded on the present site only by

means of reduced storage.

Property could be acquired adjacent to the present site

along Wentworth Street.

The main building and service building could be utilized

in any future expansion scheme.

Taking modern standards into consideration, the present
site can accommodate a maximum of approximately 183
buses (in addition to the 12 small buses presently

operated by the company).

Approximately 244 buses could be stored on the expanded
Site if all property along Wentworth Street North were

owned by the H.S.R.C.

10. The expanded site could accommodate a total fleet of

approximately 318 buses if elevated storage is provided.
Based on the above conclusions the following is recommended:
ie Due to its central geographical location the Wentworth

Street North garage be retained as the main operating
Pages eene tT. Ceska, and CeCsile, 2 Leaeese

ae Property along Wentworth Street be acquired for future
expansion.
ie In order to maintain economic and efficient operation,

not more than the number of buses as noted in the

conclusions be stored on the site under the various

schemes.
4. Considerations be given to the provision of elevated
storage. This alternative could accommodate a fleet

in excess of 300 buses (this number is incidentally

the approximate optimum for any fleet operating from

a single location). The further advantage of this scheme
is that it retains the whole H.S.R.C. operation for the
time being in one location with the corresponding savings

in facilities, labour and supervision.

oi If it is decided to retain the present and expanded site,
the H.S.R.C. undertake a study of the future service and
repair requirements of the combined H.S.R.C. and C.C.L.
fleets together with all other aspects of the operation
in order to be able to integrate all planning, budgeting
and phasing of any contemplated expansions of the Wentworth

Street site.
